Description

Currently, there is a type TimeStamp in package object gearpump. It's unclear what the time unit is, seconds or milliseconds. There are also constants MAX_TIME_MILLIS and MIN_TIME_MILLIS for maximum and minimum valid timestamps in milliseconds. All of them are not easy to find out and import from the package object.

Propose to move them into a new object singleton Time and rename type TimeStamp to MilliSeconds
